Jaime King's Beauty Routine

by
Lexy Lebsack

We expected Jamie King to know a thing or two about beauty: there’s no doubt the former model picked up heaps of knowledge backstage given that she’s been in front of the camera since age 14. What we didn’t expect were the similarities between King and her Hart of Dixie character, Lemon Breeland. She might not be as Type A as the scheming Southern belle she plays on TV, but King is meticulously committed to her beauty routine: daily exfoliation, religious use of SPF, and gentle hair care.

Made in the Shade

Shop The Look:

"I really don’t go in the sun, I’ll go in for about ten minutes a day because you do need Vitamin D, but I like to be white, white, white. I use Skinceuticals’ Daily Sun Defense ($38)—it’s the best,” she says.

Hair Care 101

Shop The Look:

“I have to color my roots every three to four weeks, so I use a mask from Kerastase every few days to keep it healthy,” King says. (Try the brand’s Nutritive Highly Concentrated Nourishing Treatment ($54) for deep conditioning.) On a daily basis, King reaches for Davines’ Momo Shampoo ($22) and Conditioner ($24). “My hair is curled every single day for my show, so I need something to keep it really smooth, silky, and shiny.”

Pearly Whites

Shop The Look:

King attributes her love of Rembrandt’s Stain Dissolving Strips ($20) to her life in front of the camera. “I use them on set because they just dissolve in your mouth,” she says. The actress also stashes the brand’s Intense Stain Whitening Toothpaste ($7) in her bag. “I probably brush my teeth four times a day,” she says. “When you’re acting and you’re close to people all the time you just have to!”

Scent Story

Shop The Look:

"I know it’s so bad to use deodorant with aluminum, but every natural one I’ve tried sucks,” King says. “I’ve been wearing a natural formula for the past week, but I ended up going to buy a travel-size stick of Secret because I was sweating,” she says. Post-shower, King spritzes on Le Labo’s Santal 33 ($220).

Scrub Junkie

Shop The Look:

King waxes poetic about her love of exfoliation. “I use my Clarisonic every night. If I don’t, I definitely notice a difference,” King says. “I use Skinceuticals’ Micro-Exfoliating Scrub ($28) on my face and I love everything from Kate Somerville, especially ExfoliKate ($85)—that one is really good.”

Model Behavior

Shop The Look:

“All girls should be able to contour, I like Make Up For Ever’s Sculpting Kit ($48),” she says. “They used to only sell it in one big kit, but now they have these small palettes which are so nice!” (YouTube is full of contour tutorials for us non-models to learn!)
